Loyola Marymount University Streamlines Time and Attendance with WorkForce Software

Leverages EmpCenter Platform for Flexible, SaaS-based Solution

LIVONIA, Mich. (May 22, 2012) – WorkForce Software, the leading provider of workforce management solutions for organizations with complex labor policies and stringent compliance demands, announces that Loyola Marymount University (LMU) has automated time and attendance activities campus-wide with its EmpCenter® solution.

The largest Catholic university on the United States’ west coast, LMU annually hosts more than 9,000 undergraduate, graduate, and law students to its 142-acre campus in West Los Angeles. LMU’s hundred-year strong tradition of academic excellence has been bolstered in part by strategic technology and process investments that lower costs and provide richer employee experiences. In partnership with WorkForce Software, LMU now provides its employees and managers with a world-class time and attendance system, combining powerful features with a simple and compelling user experience.

When an ERP-based solution failed to meet its full range of higher education requirements, LMU engaged WorkForce to deliver a comprehensive solution on an aggressive implementation schedule. After a successful implementation, EmpCenter now manages time and attendance for LMU’s entire population, including those individuals working multiple jobs.

“EmpCenter’s flexibility and functional depth allowed us to automate our most complex time and labor needs, such as grant tracking and multiple assignments, and has delivered significant efficiencies as a result,” commented Lori A. Husein, Vice President and Controller at LMU. “Our employees appreciate its straightforward and user-friendly interface, which made for a smooth transition.”

The ability to have EmpCenter delivered on a SaaS basis was also a key feature. Patrick Frontiera, LMU’s Vice President for Information Technology, added, “From an IT perspective, EmpCenter gets SaaS right. The solution is highly flexible and reliable, which will make it easy and cost-effective to adapt to our ongoing needs.”

“We’re thrilled to have Loyola Marymount University join our growing list of higher education clients,” said Marc Moschetto, WorkForce Software’s Vice President of Marketing. “Increasingly, colleges and universities want a solution that will be valued by their employees, easy to own, and addresses 100% of their complex pay rules… and EmpCenter is uniquely able to meet these critical goals.”
